Just-retired Cardinals manager Tony La Russa waves to fans at the game.

While Cal's 30-7 victory over Washington State had everyone associated with the team feeling good, several players emerged banged up, including quarterback Zach Maynardand linebackers Chris McCainand David Wilkerson.

Maynard came out of the game late in the third quarter when he was hit in the back of the head by Washington State's Sekope Kaufusiwhile diving to recover a fumble by Isi Sofele.

"I was kind of dazed for a couple seconds," Maynard said. "I'm all right."

Earlier in the third quarter, McCain was hit in the head and had to be helped from the field. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital for observation and was to be discharged Saturday night.

Wilkerson sustained a knee injury in the first quarter and will have an MRI exam later in the week.

Left guard Brian Schwenkedid not suit up. "He had an illness throughout the week," said coach Jeff Tedford. "We have to find out what the diagnosis is."

Numbering down: Senior defensive end Trevor Guytonwore jersey No. 6 instead of his usual 92 to honor a friend who went to a rival high school in the Seattle area.

Guyton said Cory Mackaywas a student at Washington State who was driving home his freshman year when he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed and was left paralyzed.

"I want to let him know I have his back," Guyton said.

Briefly: With two receptions for 19 yards, senior Marvin Jonesmoved into 10th place in school history in career receptions (137) and yards (2,053). ... Tedford has a 60-5 record when Cal scores 30 or more points. ... One more win and Cal will be bowl-eligible.
